And so the tale of the 108 maidens of destiny from legends begins.

In Liangshan Continent, a genius is defined as a Star Master who is capable of signing the Star Duel Covenant contract with two Star Maidens. This was truly the limit.

But right now Su Xing’s dilemma is how to convince the “Strength Star” Lu Junyi to become his eighth Star Knight. And this is just the beginning…

Yuuji Sakai, the usually vacant and somewhat weak protagonist, lives an ordinary life until the sudden appearance of a monster disrupts his ordinary life.
